NOVEL NEXT Chapter 223: The Vice President is Actually My Roommate?!
"Hello, I'm Lin Yue."
Upon entering the dormitory, Lin Yue saw Qiao Chang, whom she had already met before registration, a tall girl with a high ponytail, and another girl with long black hair in a short skirt.
The latter must be another roommate, Song Yuxin.
"Hi!" Song Yuxin stepped forward to take Lin Yue's hand, "Ever since the college entrance exam scores came out a few days ago, I've heard your name so many times!"
"But back then, I only knew the name and didn't even see a photo." Song Yuxin looked thoughtfully at Yue Li, and then smiled, "Now I finally get to see the true face of Mount Lu."
"Now that Lin Yue is here, shouldn't we add each other as friends?" Qiao Chang shook her smartphone and spoke with a smile, "Let's create a roommate group chat. If there's anything, just say it in the group, and we can help each other out in no time."
The atmosphere in the dormitory went slightly strange for a moment after Qiao Chang spoke those last few words.
After all, out of the four girls present, Lin Yue appeared to be the one who needed help the most.
However, this mood lasted only a brief moment.
Zheng Xiaoyu was the first to open up her QR code, eagerly facing the other three girls, "Scan me, scan me!"
With that, any slight strangeness evaporated.
Friendship between girls develops uniquely quickly. After adding each other and creating a roommate group chat, the four girls got familiar with one another in a very short time and stopped calling each other by full names.
Initially, the other three girls were a bit reserved when interacting with Lin Yue, but when they saw that Lin Yue was very open about her situation, they also relaxed quite a bit.
"Yueyue, won't it be troublesome to eat with your mask always on?" Qiao Chang finally couldn't help but ask the question she had been curious about for a long time.
Hearing this question, the other two girls also quieted down and looked curiously at Lin Yue.
They had the same doubt, but it seemed inappropriate to ask.
After all, what if the reason Lin Yue wore the mask was related to some flaw in her appearance?
Wouldn't that be poking at the sore spot of someone else?
Looking at the three curious girls, a smile formed on Lin Yue's face beneath the mask, "Actually, it's not necessary to always wear it. I can take it off in the dormitory."
"Due to some personal reasons, I just don't want too many people to see my face for now."
"Hold on a second."
With that, Lin Yue took out her phone.
A few seconds later, Zheng Xiaoyu's phone vibrated.
Zheng Xiaoyu instinctively glanced at it and then couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Lin Yue, who had just added her as a friend and exchanged greetings on the communication app, had suddenly sent her a message.
"Red Leaf, make sure you don't blow my cover later, okay~"
Not to blow Lin Yue's cover...
Wait a minute!
How did Lin Yue know her gaming name?!
Zheng Xiaoyu was dumbfounded. When she looked up and saw Lin Yue's smiling eyes as she took off the mask, she was even more stunned.
That face!
That face!!!
She almost blurted out the name "Yue Li," but the message Lin Yue had just sent privately popped into her mind, and she stopped herself.
No way... the vice president is actually my roommate?!
What kind of magic twist is this?!
On the other side, Qiao Chang and Song Yuxin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Yueyue, you're so beautiful!" Qiao Chang gasped, hastily walking over to Lin Yue and poking at her soft cheek, her eyes gradually lighting up.
She was already braced for the worst, but Lin Yue's face beneath the mask was nothing like she had imagined!
"Now I understand why you wear a mask," Song Yuxin said helplessly, shaking her head, "Without it, if the three of us went out with you, we'd all be overshadowed by you."
"That's an exaggeration," Lin Yue said with a light smile, then her expression grew a bit more serious, "Please keep this a secret for me. I don't want my appearance to attract too much attention for now."
Qiao Chang and Song Yuxin nodded, taking it that Lin Yue's appearance was so outstanding that she wanted to keep a low profile and didn't give it much thought.
But when Zheng Xiaoyu heard this, she was taken aback.
That's right, she'd almost forgotten that Yue Li was not only the vice president of their Guild but also one of the only two Hall-Level Players in the world.
The player who had the attention of the entire world, to this day, no one knew Yue Li's true identity.
And Lin Yue, like herself, had an appearance that hardly changed between reality and the Dream World.
If Lin Yue's look drew the attention of many, her identity would no longer be a secret.
Thinking of such dire consequences, Zheng Xiaoyu's face immediately turned serious, and she nodded firmly, "Don't worry, I absolutely, absolutely will not let anyone know your appearance!"
The sincerity of her near oath made Qiao Chang and Song Yuxin cast surprised glances her way.
"Then, thank you so much," Lin Yue said, taking Zheng Xiaoyu's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze.
"Yueyue, does that mean you can only eat meals packed from the cafeteria in your room?" Qiao Chang asked with concern.
"Yes," Lin Yue nodded, "Because of my illness, I need to eat lightly, and normally getting takeout from the cafeteria is fine."
"That's a shame," Qiao Chang said with a hint of regret, "I was planning to have dinner together with everyone tonight."
"Dinner together?" Song Yuxin looked at Qiao Chang in surprise, "Where? Just us?"
"There's a great barbecue place outside the west school gate," Qiao Chang smiled, "And it's not just us. I have a high school friend who I'm really close with. We've arranged to bring our roommates along for the meal, sort of like a small dormitory mixer."
"He's a Major in Extraordinary Practical Combat, and I've heard there are quite a few handsome guys in that major!"
Upon hearing this, Song Yuxin's expression showed she was tempted, "Count me in."
"I..." Zheng Xiaoyu looked a bit troubled.
It sounded intriguing, but if she went too, Lin Yue would be left alone in the dorm. What if Lin Yue needed help...
"Xiaoyu, you should go too," Seeing Zheng Xiaoyu's conflict, Lin Yue said with a light laugh, "When Chang Chang mentioned barbecue, I saw you swallow."
"No, I didn't!" Zheng Xiaoyu said, a bit embarrassed.
Because she had actually swallowed at that moment.
"Don't worry, I can take care of myself," Lin Yue patted Zheng Xiaoyu's hand gently, her voice soft, "Though movement is difficult for me, we are Transcendents after all."
This reminded Zheng Xiaoyu.
Thinking of how the girl in front of her was a Hall-Level Player yet had difficulty moving, Zheng Xiaoyu felt quite reassured and was inclined to check it out.
"Then, I'll go take a look,"
"Yueyue, whenever you need help, just call me!"
"Don't worry," Lin Yue's smile grew wider,
"If I really need help, I won't hesitate to ask."

"Finally finished," Qin Chuan sighed with relief after spending half the afternoon completing the entire new student registration process. Carrying a bag of documents, he walked toward the dormitory building.
The phone rang at just the right moment, and seeing "Feng Yin" on the caller ID, Qin Chuan couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
This seemed to be the first time the person had called him directly.
Choosing to answer, Qin Chuan put the phone to his ear.
Soon Feng Yin's voice came through.
"We've made new research progress on the instance channel."
Qin Chuan's expression became serious.
This was something he had to listen to carefully.
